A man writes to advice columnist R. Eric Thomas torn between using his windfall inheritance to save his sick brother or secure his children’s future. His brother, who has a history with addiction, has been kicked off his last chance medication by his insurance company. The man’s wife believes in helping family in need, but their children, who have autism, rely on them for support. He grapples with the moral dilemma of choosing between his brother’s life and his children’s future security. Thomas advises him to consult a financial adviser to find a solution that balances both immediate and long-term needs. He also encourages the man to have a conversation with his brother to understand his wishes and provide support. Ultimately, Thomas emphasizes that money cannot fix the emotional pain and suggests finding ways to support both his brother and children in a sustainable manner.
